The ring around the rosies is the red ringed rash that was the sure sign of having the plague. If you developed a rash it wasn't serious, unless a red ring appeared around the spot. A pocket full of posies is the flowers brought to a funeral. Or the fact that the smell of decaying bodies was so bad that people began carrying flowers in their pockets to try to ward off the smell.

Bauhinia Ã blakeana commonly called the Hong Kong Orchid Tree[1] is a legume tree of the genus Bauhinia, with large thick leaves and striking purplish red flowers. The fragrant, orchid-like flowers are usually 10 to 15 centimetres (3.9 to 5.9 in) across, and bloom from early November to the end of March. Although now cultivated in many areas, it originated in Hong Kong in 1880 and apparently all of the cultivated trees derive from one cultivated at the Hong Kong Botanical Gardens and widely planted in Hong Kong starting in 1914.
